We recognize that the creative, effective solutions that positively transform societies and
their health ultimately grow from processes that take place within those societies. In both child
health and maternal health there are powerful stories of true success, which tell us that change
is possible, that the MDGs need not be pie-in-the-sky, and that leaders of change speak many
languages. At the same time, we are keenly aware that global forces both constrain and
facilitate the ability of local and national actors to think and act boldly.

Learning how to write a coherent, effective text is a difficult and protracted
achievement of cognitive development that contrasts sharply with the acquisition of
speech. By the age of 5, spoken language is normally highly developed with a working
vocabulary of several thousand words and an ability to comprehend and produce
grammatical sentences. Although the specific contribution of a genetic predisposition
for language learning is unsettled, it is apparent that speech acquisition is a natural part
of early human development.

Full sector analysis modelling of the LCEGS sector involves identifying economic activities at the lowest
possible level of analysis (at the equivalent of a six or seven digit SIC code) and then aggregating them
so that they can be reported upon more conveniently. In this report, LCEGS activities are recorded at
five hierarchical levels but the data is analysed at Levels 1 (Sector), 2 (sub‐sector) and 3 (sub sub‐
sector) only.

The emission factors of the 14 most abundant VOCs on sequential cold weather sampling
dates (January 17 and March 12, 2003) are compared in Table 4. Indoor and outdoor
temperatures and percent RHs were approximately equivalent between these dates (Table 1).
However, the January air change rate was 0.58 h-1
versus 0.31 h-1
in March, likely due to the
difference in wind conditions. Within both the aldehyde and the terpene hydrocarbon chemical
classes, the ratio of the emission factor at the lower air change rate to the emission factor at the
higher air change rate was near...

Following an FSA visit, this firm proactively took steps to improve its sales process and
to source a PPI product that would better suit the needs of its customers. In the past,
it had only offered its customers single-premium PPI policies that were provided by the
lenders and were therefore specifically linked to the underlying credit product.
The firm decided that single-premium PPI was not the best PPI product for its customer
base.

Similarly, the overall net attendance ratio at the secondary level, that is, the percentage of the
secondary school age population (11-15 years) attending secondary school, also increased from 22
percent to 47 percent during the same ten-year period (Figure 2.6). The results also indicate that the
percentage increment in net attendance ratio for primary level as well as secondary level was higher
for girls than boys. Despite such progress, more than half (53 percent) of children eligible for
secondary level schooling were not attending school.

Wireless communications offer organizations and users many benefits such as portability and flexibility,
increased productivity, and lower installation costs. Wireless technologies cover a broad range of
differing capabilities oriented toward different uses and needs. Wireless local area network (WLAN)
devices, for instance, allow users to move their laptops from place to place within their offices without the
need for wires and without losing network connectivity. Less wiring means greater flexibility, increased
efficiency, and reduced wiring costs.

Microfinance International Corporation (MFIC). Since 2006
MFIC, a US-based financial services corporation, has partnered with
microfinance lenders and remittance transaction operators in El Salvador,
Guatemala, and the Plurinational State of Bolivia to provide transnational
mortgage loans to immigrants in the United States and Spain. MFIC links
remittances to housing microfinance. Partnering with two microfinance
institutions (MFIs) — Apoyo Integral de S.V. and Sociedad Cooperativa de
Ahorro y Crédito (AMC) — MFIC launched a pilot program in El Salvador
in September 2006.

The audit of operating systems is a complex and time
consuming area. In some instances, software is
available to assist in this process, such as CA-Examine
for MVS.
The basic objective of the computer auditor is to
ensure that the security and integrity of the operating
system has not been compromised. The auditor
should consider whether responsibility for the
maintenance of the operating system has been
established and that suitable procedures have been
documented.

The Internet as a research vehicle presents both opportunities and challenges for
psychological research. In 1985, only 8.2% of US households had a personal computer,
and the Internet as we now know it, with its rich array of communication, information,
entertainment, and commercial services, did not exist. Since then, this exotic technology
has become domesticated and is now used by the majority of Americans for personal and
economic reasons (Cummings & Kraut, 2002).

Welcome to the report of Year Two of the UCLA Internet Project, “Surveying the Digital Future.”
The UCLA Internet Project is a comprehensive, year-to-year examination of the impact of online
technology on America. This work is part of the World Internet Project, which is organized and
coordinated by the UCLA Center for Communication Policy. Included in the World Internet Project are
UCLA’s work and partner studies in countries in Europe, the Middle East, South America, and Asia.

In most cases the resources (financial, human, and others) required for addressing all
identified water quality problems significantly exceed the resources allocated to the
water pollution control sector. Priorities, therefore, need to be assigned to all problems in
order to concentrate the available resources on solving the most urgent and important
problems. If this is not done the effect may be an uncoordinated and scattered
management effort, resulting in a waste of scarce resources on less important problems.

Recent policy attention and research have focused on children's school commuting.
Concerns include children's health and safety, traffic congestion, environmental
impacts of transportation, and parents' time chauffeuring children. Popular responses
aim to increase rates of commuting by bicycle and walking (Rosenthal, 2009), but
rarely do these initiatives directly account for other policies, such as school choice,
that also impact school transportation.

The Scheduler
To help simplify management tasks, as well as providing a rich set of functionality for
complex scheduling needs, Oracle provides a collection of functions and procedures in
the DBMS_SCHEDULER package. Collectively, these functions are called the Scheduler,
and they are callable from any PL/SQL program.
The Scheduler lets database administrators and application developers control when
and where various tasks take place in the database environment.

The importance of institutional priorities in the admission process
is a significant cue for applicants that the school’s needs matter as
much in the admissions process as do the applicants’ needs. For
example, a school that has committed itself to increasing classroom
diversity may pass on an otherwise strong applicant if the applicant
comes from a professional background that is already well repre-
sented in the entering class. Therefore, it is crucial for applicants to
clarify their career goals and identify programs with which they fit
best.

Integral Signal Represent at ions
The integral transform is one of the most important tools in signal theory. The best known example is the Fourier transform,buttherearemany other transforms of interest. In the following, W will first discuss the basic concepts of integral transforms. Then we will study the Fourier, Hartley, and Hilbert transforms. Finally, we will focus on real bandpass processes and their representation by means of their complex envelope.

A recent article in this journal, “The child health/family income gradient: Evidence from
England” (Alison Currie, Michael A. Shields and Stephen Wheatley Price, 2007) argues that
income gradients in the health of English children differ from those observed in either the US or
Canada. Using data from the 1997 to 2002 Health Survey for England (HSE), Currie, Shields and
Wheatley Price (CSW) conclude that English health gradients in income are small and increase
little as children grow older.
